    Trouble installing W7 64bit HP, message "reboot and select proper boot


    Hello, I am currently building my first computer and the message appears when I try to install Windows 7 64bit Home Premium.

    "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

    I have set my DVD drive as 1st in the boot order. I have checked that it is IDE. It is plugged into a SATA 3 cable into my motherboard.

    MoBo: MSI P67A-GD65 B3
    DVD drive: LG 22x DVD-RW SATA GH22NS70

    Is there something wrong with the DVD drive and I have to replace it or is it my cabling?

    Can not be both.

    It is plugged into a SATA 3 cable into my motherboard.
    Use a SATA 2 port.

    I get the same response with SATA 2.

    This is a picture I took with the advanced settings in the bios for peripheral devices:

    Try Reset BIOS, IDE mode to AHCI mode.
